According to a report from Grayson County Sheriff’s Detective Terry Blanton, Deputy Brian Jennings uncovered a mobile meth lab while making a routine traffic stop on Tuesday, April 13.
Jennings stopped a blue Ford pickup operated by Frank Mangolis at the BP in Caneyville and arrested him for operating a motor vehicle on a suspended license and several other minor charges.
Jennings called Blanton to the scene when he suspected there was a meth lab in the bed of the pickup.
After obtaining a search warrant Blanton and Jennings found a meth lab and a large number of ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine.
Two weapons were also found in the vehicle. One was a SRS Assault Rifle and the second gun was a .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol.
Magolis, 40, of Caneyville was then charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and being held at the Grayson County Detention Center on a $50,000 cash bond.
In a second incident that same afternoon, an officer cleaned up a meth lab that was found while officers attempted to serve court papers on Kefauver Road in Millwood.
The lab was seen in the back of a white Chevy Silverado pickup truck owned by Matthew Wilson, of 155 Kefauver Road.
A warrant was obtained and the lab was removed.
Blanton reported no one has been charged in this case but is certain charges are forthcoming.
Grayson County Sheriff Rick Clemons says his men are working very hard to continue to combat the battle on methamphetamine.
“At times it may seem like the problem has slowed down but that is not the case. It just means that we are working undercover,” said Clemons. “I do feel like we have found more mobile labs lately. These are harder to find than the stationary ones because they are always on the move. But all our officers are trained that every traffic stop could be a potential meth lab.”
Anyone with any information with any information on illegal drug activity is asked to contact the Grayson County Sheriff Department at (270) 200-2222.
All calls may remain anonymous.
